Another tune recorded in a former elementary school classroom on Awaji Island, Japan, during my March exile from Tokyo. Video here.

BLESS YOUR PRETTY BONES

i don't buy the morning paper
i don't read the evening news
if it ain't no news about you babe
it ain't no news that i can use

lord lord bless your pretty bones

my brother says you're no good
my sister says you're trash
still i give you all my loving girl
i'll give you all my cash

lord lord bless your pretty bones

ain't no place that you could be
that i wouldn't try to find
if you're down in georgia
i've got georgia on my mind

lord lord bless your pretty bones

if you ever leave me darling
gonna be hell to pay
better run from here to monday
and from there to mother's day

lord lord bless your pretty bones

i'm going to carolina
and i won't be back til june
if you want to leave a message
you can bounce it off the moon

lord lord bless your pretty bones

Really like it. It has an Alvin Youngblood Heart kind of vibe that I really like. What is that instrument you're playing? It has a great drone for the song, but also sounds vaguely asian.
